  Summary

  You're doing this. You're giving this to them. You're encouraging something that... surely couldn't ever possibly backfire. Nope! Teehee!

  "Anyways, let me put it this way for you, stardust... [You've gained the conversation topic (Touch Exposure Therapy)! When you loop back to talk to me, you can choose this option at any time! But only once per loop! Don't get greedy now!]"

  -

  Or: Loop helps Siffrin with their Touch Exposure Therapy, feelings are caught, and everyone is SUPER normal about it.
